Short summary and focused troubleshooting notes based on the thread: the script in this topic constructs a CDONTS mail object and calls Send, but no delivery occurs even though no runtime error appears. correctly flagged host support for CDONTS; beyond that, most "no error but not sent" cases are environmental (SMTP relay, policy, or routing) rather than a syntax bug in the ASP snippet posted by .

Checklist (high‑value items to inspect):

  • Confirm an SMTP service is actually reachable from the web host (local SMTP or an allowed relay). CDONTS depends on a local relay and does not perform SMTP authentication to remote servers.
  • Inspect the SMTP server’s queue/pickup folder and SMTP logs for rejected/queued messages. Silent drops commonly show up there.
  • Check server event logs and add ASP error trapping so script-side failures are visible.
  • Verify the From address and domain are allowed by the sending host (SPF/anti‑spoofing can cause silent rejection).
  • Test connectivity from the host to the SMTP port (telnet host 25) and perform a simple HELO/MAIL/RCPT exchange to observe server responses.
  • Check spam/junk folders and try sending to a mailbox on the same server to separate “leave server” problems from downstream delivery issues.
  • On a development box such as Windows 98, confirm a proper SMTP service is present; many desktop setups lack a relay and must be tested on the real hosting environment.

A minimal error-capture pattern to make silent failures visible:

On Error Resume Next
objMail.Send
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
  Response.Write "CDONTS Send failed: " & Err.Number & " - " & Err.Description
End If

When authentication or detailed SMTP control is required, switching to CDOSYS (on supported Windows/IIS versions) or a third‑party component that supports SMTP auth (as noted) resolves many host-policy issues. For form workflows like described, persist form data first, then attempt send and log failures so submissions are never lost even when mail flow is blocked.

If you can instal JMail or ASPMail to your server (or they have been installed), it will be easier and there are many open source code on the internet.

mailmessage="<table><tr><td>CustomerName:"&CustomerName & "<td><tr>"
mailMessage=MailMessage&"<tr><td>CustomerEmailAddress:"&emailID&"<td><tr>"
mailMessage=MailMessage&"----------"
MailMessage=MailMessage& "</table>"


set objMail=Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
objMail.From=FromId
objMail.To=ToId
